Transformational Gains Symposium by Public Policy Forum

Rapid technological change is disrupting nearly every industry. How can universities and other partners better collaborate with businesses to prepare for a period of unprecedented change, accelerate innovation, and give Canada a competitive edge?

That was the question discussed by business, community and academic leaders at coast-to-coast roundtables in November and December.

Join the conversation in Ottawa on February 1, with university presidents, the new CEO of MaRS Discovery District, Yung Wu, and other business, community and academic leaders to talk about science, innovation, talent and improved university-business collaboration.
